Churches and Saloons.


state Register: .... ...
The difference between tho policy or
the Democratic and Republican party in
regard to churches and saloons Is this.
The Republican party insists upon train
ing the guns Of the churches against the
saloons. The Democratic party insists
upon draining the mugs OF the saloons
against the churches. There Is an illus.
tration Of this case ut Davenport One
Of the churches Of that city is fighting
with all the power at its command to
prevent the location of a saloon and beer
garden directly opposite its place of wor-
ship. The saloon, as IL possessed by the
incarnated spirit of evil itself. insists up.
on setting up its devilish institution close
TO the church where IL can ilaunt its
wckedness in the face Of all Christian
people. Three times the saloon men
have attempted to open an establishment
adjoining this church. and SO far have
been beaten back 1t wouldn't seem as
If the churches of Davenport were ask
ing anything unreasonable In demanding
that the saloons be kept away at least one
block from the houses of worship. But
sven this modest request is opposed. II
The ontlawed saloons are so bold and de-
llant, what would they do il permitted to
exist by license law2 The Democratic
party is in favor of law to legalize these
houses of infamy and let them continue

very vestibules of the churches. ..

Minister'S Wild Son.

IN JAIL IN NORWICH, CHARGED WITH KILLING HIS
AGED sTEPFATHER.
A telegram from Middletown, N. Y, March 16,
says: Frederick Allen, wild young man OF
twenty -one years, was committed to Jail In Nor
witch to-day, charged with the murder OF David
Norris his aged stepfather. The prisoner Is the
only son of the late Rev. Jason Allen, for many
years the esteemed pastor OF the Baptist church
in Otseltc, and who died in 1881. About two years
ago the widow Allen married David Norris.
an aged retired farmer OF the neighborhOOd.
Soon after this marriage diSsensiOnS arose between
the pair over certain stories that were afloat
lating TO an improper intimacy between the
woman and young carpenter named Stoddard.
la these jars young Allen took part with his
mother, and he and the stepfather had frequent
alterations concerning his idle and vicious
habits. These quarrels were carried To such ex-
tremes, and the Intimacy between Mrs. Norris and
the carpenter became so fragrant, that at one
time and took up quarters at the house OF rela-
tive.
ON the morning of February 3 last a violent
quarrel occurred between Mr.. Norris and young
Alien which ended In the stepfather ordering Allen
TO leave the house and never return. Alien went
away, but returned rgain In the evening, and, as
Mis- Norris was away nursing sick neighbOr, the
two men passed the night alone In the house. Next
morning Mr.. Norris sent for his hysician, Dr.
Crumb, complaining OF severe internal pains He
said that In the night, while he was asleep, some
person whom he did not recognize struck him vio-
lent blow across the Side rendering him for a time
unconscious and speeches.. Pneumonia set in
and about two weeks later the old man died
Reports OF foul play became so prevalent and per-
sistent that the authorities took the matter In
hand, and last Monday Coroner Ormsby caused
the body TO be exhumed, and summoned q jury OF
inquest. The testimony OF DR.. CruLnb, and OF
parties who had heard young Allen utter threats
or violence toward his stepfather, was taken. The
jury rendered verdict that David Norris came to
his death by a violent blow On the side, causing
pneumonia, and indicating Frederick Allen as the
person probably guilty OF the crime. Young Allen
took the accusation cooIly, and refuses 10 talk
about tt.

Turtles Big Enough to Ride.

Smithville IN. CD Letter III the New York Times.
Monster green turtles, some weighing as much
as ], 800 pounds each, frequent the beach all the
way down to Fort Caswell, four miles below the
town. People eat their eggs, but do not eat the
turtles. Beach parties OF young folks go down
there gather beautiful shells, have dances ON the
hard sand in the moonlight, roast oysters and
have fun with the turtles. When female turtle
wishes to lay her eggs she crawls up the sandy
beach TO a place that suits her fancy, digs with
her nipperS big hole in the sand and then lays
In the hole 200 300 eggs. The eggs are not
dumped in pile, but laid out smoothly and
neatly in rows. When she commences lay
ing it makes no odds TO her how big beach
party stands around experimenting the process.
She attends strictly to business, and even II the
eggs are taken from the hole as fast as she lays
them it does not at all discourage or brighten her.
When she gets through she ScrapeS the sand back
into the hole, whether the eggs are there or not,
and then starts back to the water. That Is the
time for the beach party to have fun with her.
As many OF them as can mount her big dome-ilke
back do so and she carries them right down to the
waters edge, where they jump OF and she goes
on. She does not seem to mind their weight or
show any disposition to resent their good-natured
familiarity. Sometimes they turn her over on her
back, but after she has helpleSsly paved the air
little while they right her again and she WaddleS

WILSON, OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Representative Wilson, Of West virginia, who. as
former resident In Washington and professor In
Columbian college, and as member OF the COM
mittee on District affairs In the Forty ninth Con-
gress, has many friends in this CITY, made speech
recently before the Bay State club in Boston, OF
which the Boston Herald speaks as follows: "Hon
w. L Wilson, OF West Virginia, followed in an
impasSioned speech. A small slightly built, but
most buoyant man, is Mr.. Wilson, youthful IN
appearance, with thin mustache and straight
smooth brown hair. His rhetoric was perhaps the
most striking Of that of any Of the orators Of the
day. Apt quotations startling antitheses, pointed
illustrations, brilliant descriptive passages cpl
gram and w1ttic1sm followed In such rapid sue
cession as to tread upon each others heels while
the speaker, giving himself to the current, as II
borne onward In the rushing stream OF his own
eloquence, was swayed hither and thither, now
pending pending downward, now rising on uptoe as ne
bursts OF applause, which at times seemed likely
10 drown the ringing voice which never once
paused nor faltered until the f1nal climax was

A Georgia Cyclone Pit.
From the Savannah Times,

Perhaps the largest, best arranged, best fur
nished and most costly cyclone pit in the country
Is owned by Ed Brown, OF Eatonton. 1t is situated
near the back door Of his residence and is large
enough to accommodate his entire family. The
walls are of brick, laid in cement, the floor is car
peted, has a fireplace and chimney, and the
room Is handsomely furnished. The family could
spend the night there with as much comfort as in
the dwelling. In preparing it Mr.. Brown had an
eye to its permanency and spared no expense in
making 1t pleasant and comfortable To guard
against the contingency OF the house blowing over
on 1t and tmprisontng the inmates large sewer
pipe leads Oh from the pit in an opposite direc-
ton distance OF 100 yards, through which the
family could escape. This unique underground
dwelling is thoroughly protected against water
rising from below or running in from above. The
cost was over $500.

and left about 1880 o'clock for DOLLS Hill in a
one-horse open phaetOn. A dense fog prevailed,
and ON entering Hyde Park the coachman was un-
able to see his way, the result being that one of
the wheels OF the carriage came into contact with
the curD near StanhOpe gate. The cOachman
pulled up, and Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone resolved to
return 10 Carlton House terrace. They alighted
from the carriage and were soon recognized by
some policemen, who rendered them every assist
ance. The coachman took out one Of the carriage
lamps and led the horse, accompanied by three
policemen, out OF the park, across Piccadilly, to

ceeded on foot as far as the Wellington Arch
where they re-entered the carriage. Having been
driven through st. James Park to the foot OF the
steps leading TO the Duke Of Yorks Column they

HOW LION ATTACKED DONKEY AND WAS DE-

From the Scientific American
Not long since the writer saw Mr. Thomson, a
dealer in live animals, open box containing an
anaconda, take the reptile by the throat, and
calmly examine its mouth, opened though it was
in rage, to look for cancerous tumors. Then from
adjoining shelves he took python after python
each about ten rect long, and examined them in
like manner. Only last week at the place of an
type known for its ferOcfty, was subdued with
out the firing of a shot. The bear broke through
iron bars half an inch thick, and, standing UP
with his back against cage of monkeys thrust
his terrible paw threateningly toward three keep
ers gathered about him. He didn't have q chance
to use them, however, for his was beabOred with
clubs until glad to get back again into his cage
On pedestal near the gate OF the Cincinnati
geological gardens there recently stood the stuffed
figure OF donkey which, when alive, withStOOd
the attack OF lion and beat him off, The lion, it
seems, had broken out of his cage and escaped to
wood near by. On grassy h1llock adjoining
donkey lay stretched in placid slumber-a slum-
Der that was rudely disturbed by the lion, who, in
few bounds, was upon him. When the donkey
felt the great mass OF flesh descend upon him as II
from the clouds, he was stunned and indignant,
but not frightened perhaps because he had never
read any or the wonderful stories about the lion
He quickly recovered from the blow, and, rising,
shot out both hind feet at the same time and
caught the lion Squarely in the forehead. Badly
hurt, the lion skulked Off and later the donkey
died OF the wound he received at the onset
